Yale University Press, 2014. First Edition. Hardcover. NEW in publisher's shrink-wrap. hardcover, Yale University Press, 2014, 272 pages. Ships from Hawaii.

This innovative look at the personal relationships of two influential artist couples shows how everyday life―mundane concerns along with… Read More
